I posted a few days ago about how Robbie looks a bit like me and I wondered if people thought he was my Mini Me.

I commented at the time how much Ricky looks like Ian- and finally found an old school picture of Ian as a child. Again, the quality is poor! What do you think? Ian is probably about six or seven in this picture.

he looks like Ian, but Robbie is so much more like you. They’ll be nothing alike when they’re a bit older!

Phil and I are very alike and look very little like our parents (I think…). Swings and roundabouts I guess – some families can all look identical and some very different.

I agree with you on all counts! It remains unclear how your parents managed to produce two children who look so unlike them, but it is very clear that somehow the genetic combination makes people who look fairly alike! 😀
